Affectionately known as the “The White Dove of the Desert," the Mission of San Xavier del Bac is a gorgeous baroque-style mission that was originally founded in 1692. The small on-site museum is full of interesting historical artifacts that give visitors a glimpse at how people have lived here over the centuries, and it also offers the chance to watch a 20-minute film about the history of the mission. Visitors are welcome to explore the site on their own, but anyone who would like a more in-depth experience can join one of the free guided tours that take place Monday through Saturday.
